But it would be eve harder with a travel ban.
let’s tell that to the medical staff at Dallas Presby Hospital
What happens if one of these people develops Ebola AFTER quarantine at 32 days?
No the real lesson, is that it’s pretty easy to spread.
We have had one person with Ebola come into the country and two American healthcare workers now have it as a result.
In Africa the cases double about every 3 weeks. This one in America has already doubled plus. Two more cases doesn’t seem like much now, but 3 weeks from now, it could be 4 more people sick. And then 6 months from now it will hundreds of new sick per day.
Ebola, the “October surprise!”
I think there are a lot more infections and they are covering it up.
The nurse’s boyfriend, for example, whose employer said he had it and suddenly does not, but is off the radar.
Lets say, I dunno....Duncan’s family knew he had @#$% Ebola and they deliberately stayed away from him.
And this would further reinforce the real lesson - people with Ebola are going to try as hard as possible to get to this country, in an attempt to save themselves...
And btw, infect people like the two Americans who caugh5t the virus from him.
Tell those at Fort Dietrick that everything is okay, they can remove their positive pressure PPE suits while working with Ebola...
How does that square with nurses infected by limited contact with Duncan? Is the American strain of the virus different than the one in Africa? Or is the virus devolving?
Yeah, it’s no more difficult to spread than Norovirus, which seems to occasionally run rampant through senior’s centres...
Are we even sure that his family and people close to him didn’t get it? I thought they were taken away to a safe facility to be monitored. Have we seen them, or are we just getting reports? I’ve not followed the blow-by-blow of the story, but just asking if we absolutely know if those people are unaffected?
Watch the early contacts come down with ebola past the 21 day period....as per WHOs warning that it could go out to 42 days. IMHO they are safe...but I’d still keep everyone under QT until 30 days just to be safe......and they wouldn’t be getting on a damn plane, train, taxi, or ship!
I read somewhere that different strains may have longer incubation periods. The only truth about the virus is there is little knowledge about it.
Perhaps this proves to be correct. However, with the disease raging in those affected West African countries, how many more of these guys might come over here unless we really ramp up our diligence with screening, travel ban, etc.?
What this really points out, is the absolute sh*thole that some parts of Africa are. The medicine, the sanitation, the cultural customs and norms....
Hard to catch at first, but much easier when the patient is liquifying or already dead.
I heard an interesting point differentiated yesterday about the healthcare workers in Dallas. There were or three quarantine groups depending how you want to slice it up. There was a group who saw him when he initially went to the hospital and was dismissed, a second group who saw him when he was admitted and then others who provided care after admission. Of all these people exposed, just the first group has had their quarantine lifted. I’m not sure which group the two nurses were in that have contracted the virus.
Little early to be writing this article IMO. Hope it is true.
WHAT!? What about that "concerned citizen", who knew so much more than anybody who was with him before, during, and after the visit, just by looking at newspaper websites, who filed that complaint with CPS?
How could it possibly be true that these health officials could be correct and that busybody could be wrong? This judge even admitted to being in the room! The "concerned citizen" wrote that down himself!
I guess we have nothing to worry about now, everything is just fine. Notice the change in the MSM tone since the appointment of the Ebola Czar.
and yet Obama didn’t go hug and kiss Ebola Man when he was alive...
or have the “family” to the Rose Garden for a presser...
